Engagement Session in Split, Croatia

Robyn and Keegan travelled to the city of Split in Croatia for their engagement. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Split is the largest city along the Adriatic coast and well known for its ancient white stone buildings. Jona of Forever Photography Studio travelled with Robyn and Keegan to capture their day: “When you get the chance to photograph in one of the most beautiful locations in the world it pretty much makes your year! Robyn and Keegan were traveling through Croatia and had a little impromptu engagement session. We walked around town late one evening for sunset photos and then woke up at five the next morning to photograph in an empty city. It was magical!”

From the bride: “Jona and I are close friends and share a love of so many things: the arts, good food and wine, film, and most importantly travelling and seeing the world. She had been talking to me about Croatia for ages. It seemed like she was either recently returning from Croatia, on her way, or wishing she was there. Jona has traveled all over the world, so the fact that this place was so magical to her intrigued me. In July, my fiancé and I were lucky enough to join Jona in Croatia. The country is indeed magical. Ruins of ancient Greek and Roman structures dot the countryside, smoky aromas from traditional Peka fill the air, the sun reflects off the antique stone and warms your skin, and the turquoise Adriatic is completely clear. I was immediately under Croatia’s spell. Not only was I in a beautiful place with my fiancé, I was honoured enough to have Jona photograph us in her favorite area of the world. What makes Jona special is that she is not only able to capture beautiful photos, she manages to infuse her photos with emotion. These photos capture everything I loved most about our trip to Croatia: the gorgeous backdrops everywhere we went, the ethereal glow created by the sun shimmering off of 1,700 year old stone, and most importantly spending quality time with the one I love. I cannot thank Jona enough for this priceless souvenir.”
